About this property

Spacious Waterfront Home on Peaceful Cove. Family-friendly!

"Sunshine is my quest." -Winston Churchhill
Welcome to Sol Searcher, our beautiful Caribbean themed lake house right on Norris lake. Spacious, waterfront, and well-equipped, our home is perfect for families and groups. A concrete paved path provides an easy stroll down to the water and dock. Here you'll find yourself tucked back in quiet cove with deep water, perfect for swimming, fishing and relaxing without all the boat traffic. Take a short boat ride to the main channel just 3 minutes away and enjoy watersports like skiing, tubing, and wake boarding. Bring your own boat or rent one from Norris Lake Watersports and they'll deliver it right to the dock. Or, take it easy and enjoy a peaceful paddle across the cove and see our lovely "Fairy Falls", a sweet little waterfall that can often be heard trickling all the way back at the house. Our property offers two story decks with ample seating to enjoy the lake views and surrounding nature including bird watching, frequent rainbows, jumping fish, turtles, and sunrises over the lake. Don't forget the marshmallows! We have a lovely fire pit right on the lakeshore, perfect for enjoying the incredible starry skies and moon rises over the lake. Gather your friends and family and come find the sun at Sol Searcher.

What makes our house special?
We built the home for our family to stay in so it is extremely well equipped and set up for your family or group to enjoy the lake. This is not a full time rental so it is well looked after and not overused. We maintain it like a true home (because it is our home!) so it is very warm and inviting with lots of little personal touches. Our favorites are double refrigerators for all the food and drinks, black out blinds for lazy mornings or afternoon naps, outdoor shower for rinsing off after swimming or sunbathing, cozy couch spaces, and plenty of puzzles/games for fun.

Location Details
Sol Searcher is located on Powder Mill Cove, a quiet cove away from boat traffic. We are just north of the Peninsula, 3 minutes by boat to the main channel of Norris Lake and 10 minutes by boat to the Springs Marina. It is a 20-30 minute drive to the towns of LaFollette and Jacksboro where you can find grocery stores (Food Lion, Food City, Walmart), pharmacies (Walgreens, CVS) and liquor stores. We are 35 minutes off the highway (I-75).

Other things to note:
-Check-in is at 4pm and check out is at 10am
-Sheets are included, however, towels are not. Please remember to bring your own bath and beach towels for your comfort.
-We are tucked away in a more secluded area so driving on a gravel road is required and internet/ phone service can sometimes be spotty. Verizon has the best service here.

**There is always a thorough cleaning between guests and we have contactless check-in for ease and comfort.

Best house yet
This was the best house we have stayed in over the last 8 years of coming to Norris Lake. The house was very well equipped and up to date. Perfect for our family trip. Easy access to the boat dock from the house with no steps to accommodate the older generation and our disabled son. Chris communicated very well. Make sure to follow the directions…be less dependent on your navigation. Will definitely stay again!!!

Renters Beware
Although we enjoyed our trip to Norris Lake, our time in Sol Searcher ended poorly. Halfway through our trip we noticed a broken in a downstairs corner of the home. The window was broken on the outside, near where the kayaks were stored. We know that no adult in our group was responsible and were fairly certain that children weren’t either (the oldest being our 9 year old daughter), as the kayaks were too heavy for them to manage. Trying to do the right thing, we notified Chris as soon as we noticed the window. We assumed this something overlooked by those who care for the home, since the way the window was broken gave it an appearance of a textured window. Chris said he was would look into it. We didn’t hear anything else. At the end of our stay, we emailed Chris thanking him and apologizing for the inconvenience that a broken window would cause. We received another vague response. We did not receive any specific information until we got the $500 deductible charge to our account. We still have not received any correspondence from Chris, even though we replied requesting security videos to prove this was done by us, just his charge through VRBO. Our advice, is renters beware. If you decide to stay at Sol Seracher, we STRONGLY advise you walk around the entire property (outside and inside) before we begin your trip and document any issues. Although, keep in mind, even this may not ensure you don’t receive a $500 charge for damages not done by you.
